Back in the 70s I had a room mate that owned a Dachshund.
The dogs name was Budweiser (appropriate since Hank the owner thought
about that a lot).
Budweiser loved to ride in cars and she had several cute and sometimes
charming habits.
One of those was to sit straight up on her butt, I'm talking about like a
Prairie Dog sits, just right straight up with her little front pays
dropped down beside her. Very cute.
Anytime Hank and I watched the Football games or TV of any type Budweiser
would get upon the couch, she would assume the upright position on the
couch cushion next to one of us and lay her paw on your arm.
She'd be leaned back against the couch and would just patiently sit that
way for hours.
She tolerated us getting up for Beer or Snacks and then put her little
paw to rest once again on our arm, either one of us, she wasn't all that
loyal.
Many times she'd speed move through open car doors to go for a ride.
This wasn't a big problem since she just settled into the back seat and
was well behaved.
One Saturday morning I was driving through the Drive Through teller's
window at the bank and the Teller asked, "Does that dog always sit like
that?".
I was surprised because I didn't know Budweiser has gained unlawful
access to my rear car seat.
I looked around and Budweiser was sitting there next to the rear door
with that Prairie Dog routine and that one paw rested on the armrest.
I told the Teller .............. "No Of Course Not! Only when she rides
in cars or watches TV".
